[Question] Can I export a specific frame from an MP file into a still image?

You can extract specific frames from an MP file shot using M-Cont Plus, Speed Cont, or Multi-target AF and save each frame as an individual still image.

• The [DPOF], [Trim], [Resize], [Skew Correction] (in playback mode), [Level Compensation], and [White Balance Compensation] functions are not available for MP files.
• [Flag Function Setting] and [Protect] cannot be set for individual frames in an MP file. If [Flag Function Setting] or [Protect] is set when the thumbnail view or single image view is displayed, the setting will be applied to the MP file instead of an individual frame.
• The individual images in an MP file cannot be deleted separately.
• The original files will be retained after exportation.
